A potent vegan daily supplement of Vitamin D3 combined with sunflower oil for better absorption. 100 softgels.
Vitamin D is not really a vitamin in the traditional sense, because we are able to form it through the skin, once our skin is exposed to UV-B rays from the sun. The formation occurs in the skin from cholesterol. The suns rays have to be strong and the skin has to be directly exposed in order for our bodies to form enough natural vitamin D3 - also referred to as the sunshine vitamin.
Deficiency is therefore particularly common in countries north of the equator.
The sun is the main source to Vitamin D, however you also get small amounts of Vitamin D from egg, liver, cheese and fatty fish.
Vitamin D is an very important vitamin for your overall health. It contributes to the below processes:
Vitamin D is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
You get 100 capsules with 25 mcg vegan Vitamin D3 from algae (Schytzochytrium) per capsule. This will supply you for 100 days.
Vitamin D is important for the body as it promotes the body's absorption of calcium and phosphate from the intestine as well as the deposition of minerals in bones and teeth. Therefore, to ensure the necessary uptake of calcium, vitamin D is a necessity for bones and is important. Due to the properties of the vitamin, vitamin D is especially important for infants and during pregnancy as it is essential for the baby's bone development, teeth and the mother's bones. Vitamin D is found in many different forms and so far 37 active substances have been found, each of which is different in their chemical structure. The greatest importance for the human body has D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol), of which D3 is the most active form. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that the body cannot absorb vitamin D without a fat. For this reason we have added sunflower oil to the capsule.
Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin as the sun is one of the main sources of vitamin D. Sunlight consists of light with different wavelengths, of which the sun's UVB and UVA radiation are of most relevance to humans.
However, vitamin D from sunlight is only formed when the sun is high enough in the sky, otherwise UVB cannot penetrate the atmosphere. Thus, in Scandinavia, it is only in high summer that enough vitamin D3 is formed in the skin via sunlight, and when covered, used with sunscreen or dark skin (higher pigmented skin), the uptake of vitamin D3 is inhibited, thereby increasing need for vitamin D supplementation.
In addition, vitamin D is found in foods such as fatty saline fish, fish liver oil, cheese and other high fat dairy products, as well as egg yolks, avocados and vegetable oils. However, the amount of vitamin D consumed through the diet is insufficient to meet the body's needs.
Infants and young children from 2 weeks until 4 years old are recommended a daily vitamin D supplement of 10 µg (micrograms) throughout the year. All adults and children from 4 years old are recommended a supplement of 5-10 µg vitamin D during the winter months (from October to April). Additionally, a daily supplement of 10 µg of vitamin D throughout the year is recommended for pregnant women.
Treatment with vitamin D often has a remarkable effect on younger people, although for some, it may take several months before they notice that the treatment is working. For individuals who have had a vitamin D deficiency for many years, there is also a noticeable effect.
The National Board of Health already recommends vitamin D supplementation for the elderly over 70 years, pregnant women and children especially children under 2 years, as well as people who do not get sun, and people with darker skin.
Vitamin D is essential for the body to absorb calcium and phosphate from the gut.
